Inaccurate temperature forecast #72

Closed jackthebean closed 8 months ago

omWeather 2.4 on Android 10 I appreciate that weather forecasting is a science mixed with an art and don't expect one forecaster's predictions to exactly match another's but find it interesting/curious that the temperature forecast for my area seems to almost always be 4-5C colder than either the UK Met Office or the BBC's weather provider. On top of this the actual temperature almost always seems to be much closer to the BBC/Met forecast than OmWeather's.

See attached screenshots from 2 separate days for the same location.
